DENNY DIVISION 1A Castlemaine United 2 Tralee Dynamos 3 TRALEE Dynamos extended their 100% record to 10 games on Sunday with a win over Castlemaine. However they had to fight hard to get the three points with the game scoreless at half time. Castemaine went ahead with a Terry O'Sullivan goal on the hour mark and it looked as if a surprise was on the cards.

CSKA are moving into a challenging position in this division but they had to work hard for their win in Moyvane on Sunday. The first half was scoreless and CSKA steamed ahead with a brace of goals from Mike Griffin. Newtown hit back with an Alan Cunningham goal but despite their best efforts they were unable to manufacture an equaliser. Newtown will have to stop the rot quickly if they are to stay in this division

DENNY DIVISION 2B Annascaul FC 2 Na Fianna 0

Na Fianna's merry march at the top of the table was halted on Sunday when they went down 2-0 to Annascaul. The West kerry side went ahead when Shane Foley scored in a goalmouth scramble. The same player was the provider for the second goal and Eamon Hickson duly obliged with a great finish. Noel Flahive and Eamon Lenihan was superb at the heart of the Annascaul defence.

This win for the West Kerry side moves them to just a point behind table toppers Na Fianna and what a great battle is now on for the 2 places in the final with any of 5 sides in with a chance.

At present Na Fianna lead on 28 points while Cedar Galaxy, Annascaul and Tralee Athletic are level on 27 points while Valley Wanderers are just another point behind on 26 points. Na Fianna, Cedar Galaxy and Annascual are in the best position as they have a couple of games in hand over the other contenders.
